Answer 1

Napoleon implemented a system in which he granted titles and land to people who would support him financially. This resembles feudalistic relationships of Louis XVI's time because it involved the granting of land and titles by a central authority (Napoleon) to individuals who supported him financially. This is similar to the feudal system in which land and titles were granted by the monarch (Louis XVI) to nobles in exchange for their loyalty and military service.
